The output of xvinfo looks good, but, for some reason I can't get the tutorial file to run. I've edited the diskorc.xml in the /first-steps/01 directory to be the same as the example given from this thread but all I get is a seg fault when I try to run it.

Any ideas whats going on? I really don't want to run this on DirectFB.

the truth is, you still have to wait a bit. The new X11 backend which is completely independant from DirectFB is on the way, but still not ready. We plan to have it feature complete(xv) on 1.5 rc2 which is due the next 2 weeks.

I will report here if we have something ready in the git repository for you to test.

ok, thats fine. You could get past the compile error if you remove the messages=y from "make" commandline. The resulting disko should be able to pass some of the disko tutorials, if you are using the settings in the diskorc you mentioned in your first post.

disko from the current git repository does now completely compile and run without DirectFB. Just set the enable-x11=y on the make commandline. Morphine.TV also compiles and runs against the current disko. The SVN repository sync should run at 10pm CET.
